THE CHICAGO PANIC.
hershaw q Co. Ready to Meet all De-
mands-Rumor Managers Puzzled to
Get up Much Excitement.
CHICAGO. June l6.

CHICAGO, June l6.
A local paper says; c. J. Kershsw & Co.
will meet all demands for margins made up
on them today, notwithstanding their failure
to go through the clearing house yesterday.
The money is in the American Exchange
National bank TO their credit, and will be
checked against as fast as demands are pre-
sented, so that if the stability of the market
Is dependent upon that firm meeting its obi.
cations, as many claim, no violent fuctus
tions need be looked for.
With reference 10 the amount of money
deposited Yesterday morning, and the amount
received and deposited later in the day to be
deposited this morning, it is learned from an
authoritative source that $500, 900 came from
Cincinnati, and that s60, 900 more will be
available today. The total amount is $780,.
600, which it is believed will cover all of
kershaw & Co.'s liabilities, and again put the
frm on its feet
In general financial circles the second day
of the panic was even more quiet and un-
eventful than the first. The fact that Chica.
go banks were solid. was so evident, that the
boldest of the numerous rumor mongers could
tnd nothing to work up sensation about.
There seems to be no doubt that all the banks
have demanded a wide margin on their wheat.
Loans or colla,erals now held by them are
more than sufficient to save them from losses.
This opinion is freely expressed by all the
leading bankers of the city. The banks have
not kept the condition of their books to them
selves, but have prudently let one another
know just how they stand
Notice was posted up in the window OF
kershaw Co.'S office Thursday morning,
stating that the firm expected to pay all diff
ferences today.
When the market opened at 80 the first
sales were at I cents for June and 70 cents
for July. The ls tier then sold down to 723
but quickly went up to 73s cents, and at 9 ~
A. M. was 73 cents.
1t is stated that all the board of trade men
now ask of the banks is that they do not ask
for more collateral. 1t they do gain, the
men look for panic oSthe worst kind. They
believe, however, that the banks have margin
enough TO protect them and will be wise and
not make further Demands

terDoon
"The Queen has been alarmed by reports
that the police have discovered that dynamite

they have been watching are Casey and his
followers, of whose movements they have

The INCREASE WAS TOO GREAT.
The son of prominent man in pub
lie life has just returned to Washing
ton from a years experience in the
cattle business in Utah. II raised a
company here, mainly among my
friends, and we invested $4,000. 1t
took $50, 900, of that to buy our range,
$1,000 to get me out there, and buy
our outfit, and the rest we put into
cattle and expenses, principally ex-
penses. My cattle men got into a
row with neighbor and his men
ran our cattle down into the can
yons. Then our foreman took it in
to his head to sue us for his pay, and
although had made an excellent re-
port to the company, somehow things
went wrong. My report stated that
we had enjoyed an increase in our
herd of 120 per cent, and that was
the case. I don't know that any OF
our men stole any calves from our
neighbOrs. l don't know that our
cows had more than one calf apiece,
but somehow we found on our round
up that we had 120 per cent. increase.
This is what broke us up. Cattle
men are used to 80 and 80, and in
rare cases 100 per cent. increase, but
they could not stand 120. The cat
tie association in that district held a
meeting and passed resolutions that
it was impossible for any herd to
increase at such rapid rate, and,
calling upon the delegate in Congress
from Utah to investigate the case,
wound up by giving me three days
time to get out of the Territory. l am
now going down to pass civil SER
vice examination"
